Thanks Chris, a book written by a guy with the name of K. Phillips can't be all bad. <g> I just purchased my copy today. From page 76, these words jumped at me:

"By 1995, the Wall Street Journal and other publications were reporting the American fear: that if Saddam Hussein could escape UN sanctions and give Iraq's lush concession to non-American Anglo companies, he could reallign the global oil business."

Yes, it was all about oil.

Interesting writing by Kevin Phillips. And it's all true!

My thinking in recent weeks has centered on the idea that larger nations do for the planet more harm than good. How to reconcile with "think globally, act locally?" Have smaller nations! Perhaps it's time for the United Nations to begin studying the possibility of breaking up larger nations, say populations of 75 million or more, into smaller nations.
